10 - Lionel Messi - v1

[R10(FCB)]

also i think that manu wouldn't play so defansive like chelsea 'cause this is final, it's only 1 game and there is no home ground advantage.

Messi won't go to City. He just won't. Don't take it serious they've been linked to the top 50 players in the world so don't worry.

 

[maz]

I honestly wouldnt put it past them.

 

[Quash]

If it weren't so ridiculously clear he doesn't want to leave I wouldn't have put it past them to try and buyout his 150mill clause.

Some journo's need to find something better to write about.

We have been linked with just about every half-decent player in europe.

It's getting annoying now.

They may be able to afford his buy-out, but the 'wee man' would NEVER leave Barca for mere money, and especially to a team as poor as ManC.:2145960713mundoemot

Wouldn't surprise me if they had bid. City are getting into the habit of bidding for players and then saying they never did when it gets leaked and people start laughing.

Pretty well tbh,

His is lack of work rate is sometimes exploited by many teams when we don't have possesion, but he his quality when we have the ball and is the fourth top scorer in the Premiership.

In the cold months he would just walk through some games doing nothing.

We play him as a winger but Imo we should play him up front.

Leaked you say? Made up more like !

If City denied every story we would be on the phone to the press non-stop.

Hughes has already said that 90% of the players we are supposed to be "after" are complete lies.

 

[VivaBarca]

Journalists know City have the money to sign anyone so they will try and link them with players.

Again: Messi better proofs himself. I think he is the best player on the planet but what to think if he cant dribble english defenders and only spanish ones (ok with argentina he did nice things but given lots of space)

I have high expectations on European level now against Man u. I don't expect him to score or anything ,just rush with his dribbles a few times. Show how to play with English defense....that's all i ask

Kind regards...o o o it's a wonderful life...no need to lie and cry

Messi can dribble by English players incase you haven't noticed. Generally he plays well in big matches so I expect a decent performance.

i like that interview, i dont know i Messi will be better than Maradona, But i do know that football has evolved in a way that teams enforce more player marking and play more defensively organized than Maradona's time therefore it is harder to do what messi does in present time. Cassano is right in that, also Messi is 21 years old for fucks sake, the thought that he will even improve with time is scary because to me he is already one of the best players ever, a magical player when the ball is at his feet.

The Ronaldo vs Messi comparisons are a waste of fucking time so i try to avoid them, Ronaldo may be more complete, score form free kicks, headers, from 30-40 meters but Messi's dribbling, ball control, vision, and finishing cannot be matched. a true football fan knows this.
